So.. who would you take if you had the number 3 pick in this draft??
Some already good/successful teams have picks in that range from bad teams suffering the aftermath of mismanagement. (Nets, Knicks)
Really hard to say pre lottery draw.
Looking at tankathon, if the Cs(via Brooklyn) keep the 3rd position, I'd just trade it together with some lesser picks for DeMarcus.
Let's say the Lakers drop to #4/5 and have to surrender the pick to Philly, it would really depend on where Philly's other #1 lands.
They stay #1 and get Ingram, then you evaluate Embiid long term, but are ready to surrender either Nerlens and/or the other clown to upgrade at guard.
You bring Saric in and play huge wings like the Bucks do, but have ****ing Embiid potentially down low to back your huge wings up and try to manufacture the #1 defense.
It would also make sense for them to trade down for an extra asset to select Murray.
Everyone else either has to select whoever they think is BPA because their roster is so depleted that they need maximum talent influx(LAL,PHX,NOLA,Kings) or they still want to select BPA because the pieces they have are so flexible that they really will make it work(T-Wolves, Nuggets)
Considering the outside chance of 6.5% of the Bucks to sneak in, they could also give Jamal Murray a hard look if you consider the rest of the roster and how hard they crave shooting and how much Jason Kidd values size.
